About S. Tanner Ward
I was born in Southern California and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I graduated with a degree in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University before deciding to head south to LSU Health Shreveport for medical school. During my time in medical school, I established two charities dedicated to supporting pediatric and cancer survivor communities. The opportunity to build long-term doctor-patient relationships is what attracted me to family medicine. I was particularly drawn to UF due to our clinic-first curriculum, the wide range of pathology we get to treat, and the sports and obesity medicine exposure. I am interested in obesity medicine, lifestyle medicine and academia. I plan to pursue an obesity medicine fellowship upon graduation from our program. Beyond medicine, most of my time is spent chasing my kids with my wife, Allie. We love being a part of the CHFM family. Go Gators!
